Hi, we are looking for the best way to enrich people with direct dial data (work phones). We have tried the different providers, which were mentioned in a Clay Article - People Labs, BetterContact and have been most convinced by Bytemine. The hit rate for direct numbers seems to depend a lot on industry, region etc, which is not very satisfying. Doing some research, I read that ContactOut, Infrobel Pro, Lusha and Boldata have solid databases for direct lines in the US and Europe. Some have an API, some are already integrated in Clay (Contacout only provides mobile numbers). Can you tell me, which of these is most recommended for Clay?
For direct dial data in Clay, ContactOut is our integrated provider with strong performance metrics. It shows 97.51% data quality and 86.05% coverage for professional profiles. [1]
However, ContactOut primarily provides mobile numbers rather than direct work lines. [2] For better direct dial coverage, consider Datagma which specializes in B2B contact enrichment with 94.13% data quality.
For providers not currently integrated like Infrobel Pro, Lusha, or Boldata, you can connect them using our HTTP API feature if they offer API access. [3]
We recommend using our waterfall feature to chain multiple providers together - this maximizes hit rates and you only pay when a result is found.
If you need any more help with enriching people data or setting up integrations, I’m here to assist. Would you like to provide more details about what you’re trying to achieve or any specific challenges you’re facing?
Hi, I had the same issue a couple of times already: after setting up a list with waterfall/claysearch (with only 10 rows running to test), I altered the source and added new rows. Then all rows are run automatically, costing me a couple k of credit. There is no warning message, indicating that the change will cost massively, nor is there a way to understand how the change will impact the list. Pretty disappointing.
Hi! How can I assist you further with your data enrichment needs?
